Summary

Degreed professional with 15+ years of Business Research, Project Management and Technical Communications experience. My skills include a traditional PM-BOK based approach or a Scrum approach depending on enterprise needs along with SPSS statistical assessments. For public and non-profit organizations, I use CoBIT / ISACA based risk reduction guidelines, analysis and policy / procedure recommendations. These standard methods coupled with metrics capturing, results analysis and education for improvement, offer an established structure to complete any information technology related assignment.

My work emphasizes clear initial communication to assure all parties are represented appropriately in the requirements, priorities, expectations, milestones and tasked deliverables. I combine this approach with a professional, timely pace, engaging principals early to verify any dynamics and constraints impacting the project. My projects accentuate collaborative qualitative and quantitative work and are well documented using MS Office tools to include Word, Excel, Visio, Powerpoint and Sharepoint. Other tools I prefer include Basecamp 3 or Confluence for remote project coordination. Camtasia is my preferred tool for full-motion video or modular distance training.
